Java won't be a problem. There are some BASIC's in Linux, including
StarBasic in the openoffice suite, but would Python, for example, fit
the needs of your curriculum? It is easy, pedagogically a lot better
than BASIC of any kind and supports GUIs and object orientation. It also
supports functional programming.

OpenOffice should be fine unless you want to teach VBA or use the
regression analysis plugin for Excel. Check with Sun. They now let you
install as many copies of StarOffice 7 as you like if you are an
educational institution. Sun at least has a brand behind it to convince
skepics.

Ktouch is basic but fine.
